Just when I thought I'd got my Quad 44/405-2 sounding ok, the MC phono stage in the 44 is playing up.
There's a sort of background rumbling sound which gets louder as I turn the volume up. It's there even when there's no record being played. Doesn't do it on any of the other inputs.
So, is it worth getting the phono stage repaired (it's easy enough to remove), or is it time to get a standalone phono stage. I'm trying to reduce the amount of of hifi I've got, so I'd rather get the Quad phono repaired if possible, but not keen on throwing good money after bad.
Thanks
Mike
